Thank you, Mark!!

I don’t like it either, and if I were Kingfisher (who seems to be the primary sponsor) I wouldn’t be happy on the placing my logos either, at an orthographic and side elevative glance, I’d get more coverage from Medion (who I’d be reluctant to place for a sponsor even at back of the grid! – but that’s my own perspective). I’d even be interested to see how many (external) lights have been used for the promo photographic shots in comparison to other teams because the lights seem to highlight the sides more than other elevations – it just looks tacky IMO, it even looks overexposed in parts, not what I’d expect in an F1 launch.

But back to the point, I don’t see this car as having any identity different to Honda, Toyota, last years Williams, a Steward, a BMW, or whatever – at least the old Spyker had some oomph to it than this.

Having said all this, I do hope it does better than Spyker and that the funding and ownership carries on to more than 1/2 – 3/4 of a season. Even if the name is completely naff. I want to see teams build up in F1, I want Honda to succeed because they have shown persistence AND perseverance, unlike so many other teams.

If Force India prove to be the might years down the line, however many it takes, then I hope they will get points regularly. Otherwise, it’s just another back marker who otherwise could take the team further. They have a lot to prove – they have talked far too much.

its just too bad this car will be dead last this upcoming season:(..except for honda maybe.

Having spent last weekend at the A1 GP at Eastern Creek it is depressing how similar the F1 cars are going to look.

BMW, Honda, Force 1, Super Aguri, Williams, Toyota,… That is half the grid being primarily white with dashes of other colours.

Say what you will about Renault but at least they look different!
